We also dive into the biggest news of the week — Xbox’s shocking 50% price hike for Game Pass Ultimate. We analyze what’s behind Microsoft’s strategy, how it impacts players, and whether this could alienate their most loyal fan base.

Speaker 1 (00:13):

is this, if you were a fan of survivors like
Vampire Survivors and Games of its Ilk, stay away from
megabunk because it will suck up all of your time.

(01:42):
I made the foolest decision to purchase megabank. It just
came out a couple of weeks ago. Basically it looks
like if Risk of Rain was like rendered with like
like flash art basically and make the gameplay Survivors. Uh,
that's what megabonk is. And uh, I down I bought

(02:04):
it and downloaded. I was like, all right, I'll play
this for an hour and you know, just check it out,
see what it's all about, and probably put it aside
because you know, I'm playing Haities right now and playing
Deep Rock Elastic Survivor and yeah, and a couple other things.
And uh yeah, I played megabox for like four hours.
So don't don't play megabonk, uh unless you want to

(02:25):
get consumed by megabonk. Because it's very good. I don't
have a lot to say about the gameplay because it
really is just that Survivor style of you know, endless
hoares coming at you and you beat them and you
level up and you gain power ups and make your
character stronger with auto firing weapons, and then, much like
Risk of Rain, you have to locate a boss portal

(02:45):
in each stage and then kill a big giant boss.
It's really solid loop. There's lots of shit to unlock,
and it's really really fun. But again, uh, if you
want to play other video games, UH, don't play Megapunk
is my is my big, big recommendation. Uh to everyone
listening to the podcast. This week, Micah, Ghosts of Yote

(03:11):
came out. It seems like it's very very good from
everything that I've seen. You have played it, what are
your thoughts?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I love it. It is. It is. It's the game
that was made specifically for me. Now it does, you know,
have the some of the trappings that open world games do.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
But.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
This game handles those tropes differently than others, and and
it handles them pretty well. I don't even know where
to start.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Man.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
This game has the unfortunate timing of of of being
the second game set in feudal Japan, starring a female
protagonist who is out for vengeance because her parents were
killed in front of her and she was left for dead.

(04:15):
So the story is set up and premise is the
exact same as Shadows Now it's you know, the plot
is a little different obviously, right, There's no big black
dude running around in Ghost of Yote, so you know,
minus a point. But but no, this this game is

(04:38):
just as beautiful as Ghosts of Sushima. The combat is
it reminds me of Goes with Sushima, obviously, but it's
a little more like they have this like rock paper
scissors spock, you know, a thing going on with the

(05:02):
different weapons as opposed to different stances with your katana
Atsu is an infinitely more interesting protagonist, even though she
has a very very like her motivation is just like
you know, standard you know, Revenge Tale, right, like, she

(05:25):
is more she is slightly more expressive. Jim was cool,
but Jen was like Jen had to stick up his
ass and we kind of had to. Even even if
you were to travel down the path narratively of him
being quote unquote dishonorable, he's still like, it's not a

(05:52):
wild swing in his personality, which I think is perfectly fine.
Write a lesser game, it would be you know, I'm
Superman or you know I'm dark Side, Right, I'm the
most evil motherfucker ever right, and it's no, it's not that.
But Atsu is in the gray and she is she's

(06:16):
she's a she's an infinitely not if she's a better
character than the main character of Ghost of Sushima game
is gorgeous colors. Man, Like, I appreciate they put that
kiro sour mode in there, but like, I can't imagine
playing it like that, not on my first run. This
is one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen.

(06:38):
Playing on a day one PS five in performance mode,
it's still like one of the most amazing looking pieces
of just visual art. The music look I turned on
wats nave mode, which plays like low five beats uh

(07:00):
periodically between you know, when you're like traveling or or
you know, non story stuff. It's a great concept. I
really like the music. The problem is like it's not
enough of it. There's like three or four tracks to
just kind of loop, and that really sucks. Like I was,

(07:23):
I really wanted, I wanted more. So you know, maybe
that's something that they can implement later down the down
the road, I guess.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
What else.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
This is one of those games that you can just
get lost in, man, Like you really can. You don't
have to.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Check the map.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
You can just just get on your horse and start
riding and you'll find something. And this is this is
one of the This is one of those open world
games that's like you just want to you just want
to luxuriate in this in this world like because it's
so you know, interesting, and it's it's cool to be in.

(08:08):
I do have some some knits to pick. Erica is
does a very good job of uh. She she's a
she's a good actor in this, but I think they
should have cast a younger person to play her younger
Atsu's younger self. So there are points in the game

(08:32):
where you can initiate a flashback and you can play
as your younger self to like get backstory on this character.
And I don't know what I don't know what kind
of voice she's affecting, but I can't even imitate it.
It's just like she's trying to she's trying to make

(08:52):
her voice sound different, but she's not trying to make
her sound young. And it looks it sounds very odd.
You know, Soccer Punch has so there's light platforming in
the game and Soccer Punch are they the sly Cooper people.
They were, Yeah, okay, I never liked Sly Cooper's platform

(09:15):
and they're jumping. Even with something like Infamous, it's it's
a little like you jump in the air and it's
a little it's a little floaty and it's it's not
it's not tight jumping and platform. So but that's just
the personal thing. It doesn't like affect my enjoyment of

(09:36):
the game. God, man, like this game is is I
mean I thought I had a clear I thought, you know,
I'm I'm gathering my list of ten games for Game
of the Year, and I thought like, all right, I
got my Game of the year right, like but like

(09:57):
this is this is up there, man, this is the
this is gonna make a run for it. And yeah, man,
this is a must play. This is a must play
for somebody like me if you like the big budget
like like you know, this is Triple A the game,

(10:17):
and if you like that stuff and you and you
want quality, like get this game. This game, like even
when you like turn the PS five off, like like
like close out the game, like once you start it
and you select the you know, the icon, like you.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Just jump back into the world. I heard I heard
that it bypasses, like the title screen.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
You just get right into it and there's virtually no
load times. You know, they got a lot of gimmicks
in this game because they want to try and make
use of all the features that the that the PlayStation
five controller can can do. So there's a lot of
mini game and like it's it's like kitschy stuff, right,

(11:03):
but it's it's it's the little things that like that
like make this thing. It's little touches, it's details that
this game has, and I don't know, I appreciate it.
I appreciate it as someone who plays a lot of
these things, especially open world games, Like I really appreciate it.

(11:28):
One thing that kind of stinks is that like you
have to open up the map, you have to unfog
the map, right and you know, normally in like an
Ubisoft game, you you you climb on a ball thing
and then you hit a button and you pan around
and like stuff just kind of opens up. This kind

(11:49):
of does it, but it kind of doesn't, right, Like
there are no specific viewpoints that you have to go to.
You just get the high ground. Just get the high ground,
pull out your spyglass and just start looking around and
if you see something like the game gives you visual
cues of like, oh, hey, there's smoke over there. Maybe

(12:10):
you should look over there. If someone's burning the fire,
that means that means settlers are there, right, so maybe
you should point your spy glass over there, puinch your
spy glass over there. Bam, there's there's something that you
can go to.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Right.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
And yeah, I don't know, man, I I this game.
This game was for me. Man, this game, this game
is is.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I love it. I love it, and this is probably
gonna be my last game of the year. I don't
think I'll be buying any other games. Yeah, man, this
is this is this, this, this is this is the ship.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Man.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
I need I need them, I need them to go ahead.
And I don't know why game companies do this. I
mean I kind of have a feeling that like, oh, well,
you know, we gotta I need them to put multiplayer
in it because Ghost Sushi was multiplayer was so great.
I'm curious to see, you know how this works. Look, man,

(13:14):
you know how I feel about animals. Fuck them, right,
that's not a that's not a command. Right, don't welcome right?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
They have we found, we found, we found a canine
that like actually likes I guess in this game.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I mean, it's it's kind of cool man like I was.
I was. I I went to a wolf then and
the wolf was like it didn't want to be my friend.
And then I was like, chill, wolf, like, I'm your
I'm on your side, right, And then the wolf is like,
let's ride, right because they got my people, Let's ride.

(13:49):
And then the wolf just starting off. So I followed
the wolf and the wolf takes me to where other
wolves are caged. You gotta fight all these people and yo,
the I mean the cat. The wolf jumped onto a
guy's arm and I was able to run over there
and just fucking found fucking cut that dude's head off

(14:10):
and ship like, yeah, is this what it's like having
an animal like having a dog. This is awesome.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
This is the story of hows bike his kids get
a pet is like bike and played ghosts Ghost. Yeah,
and finally respectly respects dogs because he could do like
he could do like simultaneous executions with his with his
dog partner.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
In the game, there's one thing where it's like, you know,
when you die and Ghost of Sushima, like you're on
the ground and you're you're dead, and the enemy comes
over and puts you out of your misery right to
stab you and died once the enemy was coming over,
and then all of a sudden, the fucking wolf grab

(14:54):
that motherfucker. I got bike back up. I was like, oh,
ship like, this is amazing, Like, oh ship like, man, like,
I'm having a blast with this game. Man, I'm having
a blast with it is well worth the price of admission.
This was what regular price, like seventy dollars okay, okay, yeah,

(15:17):
and it's got it's got all this cool stuff.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Man.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I love it. I love it. If you're into this stuff,
if you're into this time period, if you're if you
if you got one foot in the weeb door and
one foot out, you're like me, you're gonna be You're
gonna love it. Man, this is this is great.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I mean I look when I played ghost Sushima, like
I said, this is basically like the only type of
open world game that I can get down with at
this point where it just kind of, you know, encourages
you in the game to explore and find things and
doesn't just vomit icons all over your map. And yeah,
I think things feel very very immersive. Such a dumb

(16:00):
to use with this kind of stuff, but like it
feels but it feels like you're naturally being led around
as opposed to you know, dropping twelve a dozen icons
around your position and just check boxing.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Ship right like it's it's it's something that like like
I get. I get those games like I made fun of,
like games like No Man Sky and stuff like that, right,
but like I I do get the appeal of that,
And that's the closest This game is the closest thing
to something like that that I'll play where I have

(16:35):
a I have a goal, but like this world is
so beautiful and I just want to spend time with it.
Like the first thing I did was climb that fucking
mountain and that you see in all the marketing, right
because like, of course I'm gonna climb that mountain. It's there,
I gotta climb it. And yeah, man, this is this
game as it's hooksing me and and I this is

(16:57):
this is good ship.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It just occurred to me that it's been almost a
year since Dragon Age the Vailguard came out, which does
not feel like it's been.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
A year since that.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
You can get Wow, I'm glad your October game this
year has brought you much more joy.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah that it came out in October.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, damn next month. Speaking of Vailguard, I finished that. Yeah,
it beat it, taking like seventy hours to finish Standing.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Standing is much more exciting than than the beginning. Yeah,
that lasts that last hours. Yeah, stretch was pretty.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Fun, was pretty goddamn fun. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
I enjoyed it, alright, Look again, the story characters not
the greatest, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
I also two other games I played. I stopped playing
Silk Song because that game can.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Go to hell.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
It's too fucking hard, and it's not the fun hard.
It's just frustrating. They just made it way too hard
for no reason. I quit once I got I told you,
like the last time I was on here, I beat
this one boss and the first set of bosses were
like flying enemies, and I told you how flying enemies
are trash. And it just continues that just fuck. That
game is no game of a year for me, Like

(18:19):
it's and there are a lot of people that played
the first game that's saying the same thing. They're like, yeah,
it's just too fucking hard for no reason, like.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
What is that? It's like, I guess the developers are
kind of like, well, we can.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Finish it, and minutes you do it, you can do
it too, But no, it's really difficult deep rock aalactic
survivor very fun like like Brad said last week, I
enjoyed that a lot, and I said, funny, funny enough,
we'll get into Microsoft's shenanigans. But I started playing, Uh,
what is it? Prince of Persia, work and Crown. Yeah,

(18:53):
and I'll tell you how I got to start playing
it once we get into the Microsoft situation.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
So let's wait no further for that. So an update
to a story from last week. So last week we
talked about how Microsoft announced they wanted people to no
longer buy Xbox hardware by raising prices on Xbox consoles
for the second time in four months thanks to terroriffs.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Even though they won't say it's terrifs, we all know
it's terras.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well. An update that sorry, Microsoft has now announced they
don't want anybody to use Xbox surfaces at all anymore
because they have raised the price of Game Pass Ultimate
by fifty percent over what it current over what it
was currently. So Microsoft have announced some revisions to their

(19:45):
game Pass lineup of services that they have out. So
Core and Standard, which are the two lower versions, have
not changed in price. They have changed names though, So
Xbox Core is now Xbox game Pass Essential. It's ten
dollars a month and you need that in order to

(20:06):
play any Xbox games online. So if you want to
play Xbox games online, you have to have Xbox game
Pass Essential. The big thing, the big addition to this
one is that I believe they've added cloud streaming as
an option to this, which they did not have before.
I think before you at least had to have the
next level up to take advantage of cloud streaming. But

(20:29):
they've added that to this. So then now you have
game Pass, then you have game Pass Standard. It's now
called game Pass Premium. It's still fifteen dollars a month
that comes with some games. Also, you will get new
Xbox games within a year of launch, so no day
one play for that, but you'll get them within a year,

(20:53):
and you get other in game benefits and other shit
like that. So game Pass Ultimate, they've added a lot
of stuff to it. Okay, your whether you want any
of that stuff, your mileage may vary, but now you
get seventy five plus day one games per year, including

(21:14):
all games published by Xbox. In addition to EA Play,
which was already part of it, you now have access
to Ubisoft Plus Classics and Fortnite Crew. So if you
want to make sure you're a premium Fortnite, remember, you
could just get your game Pass Ultimate. You get other
like in game benefits and stuff like that, and then

(21:34):
apparently you also can get like in store rewards and
shit like that. But again, the price for game Pass Ultimate,
which was nineteen ninety nine per month, has gone up
to twenty nine ninety nine a month, which led everyone
to the joke that now, I guess Xbox three sixty

(21:55):
now stands for Xbox three hundred and sixty dollars, because
that's how much you'll pay annually if you want to
if you want to have gay Pass Ultimate for an
entire year. This news was so popular that Microsoft's Game
Pass Cancelation web page crashed for extended period of times

(22:17):
extended period of time the day that the price increases
were announced. And this also comes on the heels of
Sarah Bahn just coming a couple of weeks ago. Touting
how profitable game Pass was for Microsoft. I think she
said something along the lines of, like they made like

(22:39):
five billion dollars a year last year or five billion
dollars last year on game Pass, And normally you would
think that that would just, you know, coincide with news
of holding, holding steady and holding firm. But now you
have the privilege of paying fifty percent extra. Then you
were paying to play all of the Xbox games that

(22:59):
aren't coming out because they can't get a developed game
out the door, uh to save their life, apparently, despite
having fifty development studios that they purchased over the last
uh several years. I'm glad that Terrence joined us because
Terrence was our game pass guy. Like Terrence UH was.

(23:21):
It was all game Pass all the time.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
How do you feel, I don't. I no longer have
a serious S guy. I traded that in early today.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Literally like literally like five hours ago. I traded in
because there's no point. Fuck, it's funny. I traded it in.
I bought the thing for two hundred bucks. Now it's
four hundred.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Dollars, So, like Jesus, how much I can do?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I say, did you profit from you traded?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
No?

Speaker 5 (23:52):
I didn't, okay, but I got way more than I
would have gotten. Traded it in a couple of months ago.
I got one hundred and one hundred and sixty bucks
score It's.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Which is pretty good depreciation value.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
I got one hundred and sixty.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
I lost forty bucks, okay, considering like it's game stop,
I would have lost way more.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
Traded it in today and I needed and I needed
a controller because I'm just gonna just use Steam or whatever. Uh,
So I bought I bought a game thirty seven so
wired controller, and I was gonna go and pick up Shanoby.
I got it, and I opened the game up. I
opened the box up and there was a free free
game pass month subscription course.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
I didn't know. I didn't even pay attention. I opened
the box and the little things fell.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Out and was like, oh, this is thirty day free
subscription the game Pass ultimate.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
So I used that, so I'll at least play a
Ninja Guide in four.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
When that comes out at the end of this month.
And then and then I put the code in and
I saw that Prince of Persia was it? Not the
broken crowns lost crown was on because that was one
of the game they added to Movies Saw Classics. I
was like, oh, okay, well let me let me see
how this is. And the funny thing is, I don't

(25:06):
have the series as anymore, but the cloud service works
really well. I played Veilguards through the fucking cloud all
seventy hours. I played through the cloud no problems. Yeah,
so it's not that bad, and they and it's out
of beta now, so they bumped up the bit rate
so it looks a little better controls them, not as
as the latency is is not that bad. But yeah,

(25:28):
that's thirty bucks is insane, Like it's not insane. I
will what I will say, I'll shoot them some bail,
not a lot, because they can still go fuck themselves.
Considering that they jacked the price up twice on their systems,
which is again no one's already, no one's buying them.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
I don't understand what the hell they're trying to do
with that.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
They fired nine thousand people this year, like you said
they they said it's super profitable, and then they did
this increase in a day, like they were like, hey,
Microsoft game Pass is going to go up in price tomorrow.
Like whoa, whoa, what do you, So that's three strikes.
If it was just the price increase for the fucking

(26:06):
game pass, people will be like, that's fucked up. But
I don't think they would be as pissed because at
the end of the day, the thirty bucks a month,
while it's three hundred six dollars a year, if you
use it like I do, it's still a pretty decent value.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
It is, but.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Most people only like play one or two games, like
download one of the two of those new games, like
Call of Duty.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I don't even know if Call to Duty is staying
date on the on.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Ultimately, I don't think it is. Yeah, that's the other
I don't think that it is Duty.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Like their big game that they they bought fucking they
spent fifty five billion dollars for is not even day
day on the highest tier this year, which.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Is right because they know they can get people to
pay seventy dollars.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
Yeah, they'll pay the full price for it. Yeah, and
the other games against like I want to play Ninja
Guy in four, so it's going to be good for me,
and I play other games like Deeprocalactic.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
It's very fun. That's a what twenty dollars game?

Speaker 5 (26:56):
Twenty thirty dollar game if you buy it on a Steam.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
So it's still pretty decent.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
No one asks for fucking Fortnite Crew that gives you
like Fortnite Bucks or some bullshit.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
The game is free to play already. Fuck, that doesn't
make it. You have damn right.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
And if you and if you care about Fortnite Crew,
chances are you probably already have.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
You already have a bunch of fucking Fortnite Bucks, And
like getting thirty pay an extra thirty dollars for more
isn't gonna do anything for you. And I don't think
a lot of people play Fortnite on on on Xbox.
It just that just seems like a really stupid thing
to do.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
But yeah, that that.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Thirty a month on top of like all of the
streaming services everybody has and all this other shit, Like
that's the that's a big ask considering the climate we
live in. Like you can't and again you're not really
you've lost all goodwill because people love game Pass. You've
lost all they.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Did they did until now.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
And considering like you, like you, you were basically the
Netflix for now. They're just basically Netflix for games, but
they cost.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
More than Netflix.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Which well, And it's funny because like I think you
kind of spelled it out right there, like if you
were it's it's almost like this is only worth it
if game Pass is all that you do, like like
like you don't buy any games, all you do is
use game Pass free games. Because at the point that
I heard, nay, it's like now, like back when this
was like fifteen dollars a month when it first came out,

(28:23):
like many many many years ago, right, and and that's
that's when it was like an unbeatable value in terms
of like what it was in the marketplace. Like that
was that was easy to say, all right, you know,
I'll get this alongside of this other thing and that'll
be fine. But yeah, like thirty dollars a month, Like
if you get a big game on game Pass and
it takes you two months to play through it, you
might as well have just bought the game, because you

(28:44):
basically just paid sixty dollars for yeah, for the for
the privilege of playing this game that you don't own,
not that you own it if you buy it digitally anyway,
as we've discussed before, but like you know, for all
those purposes, like if the public if it's not a
Microsoft game, the publicherticides takeaway acts that game from the service.
Oh well, tough shit, Go buy you know, go out
and go buy it.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
And do that.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
So this is insane to me that they did this,
especially as you know, like you mentioned, Terrence, they already
have they were already costing themselves a lot of goodwill
in the marketplace as it is. And with the fact
that again, all of their games are available everywhere all

(29:26):
the time now, like like Microsoft last quarter was the
was the best selling publisher on the PlayStation. Just just
rerun that sentence through your head cause you didn't hear me,
Like like as far as like revenue generated, Microsoft Xbox
Games was the biggest publisher on PlayStation last quarter, Which

(29:49):
that's what.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
They want to do, right, That's where they want to be.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
And the fact that again, you can play your games anywhere,
Like I pull my phone out and launched the Xbox
Game Pass and play through my game like a phone.
It's not that good, Like the latency is not horrible,
but you can still play it on anything.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
And I think that's their whole point.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
And I heard that they weren't coming out of a system,
but that was a rumor, But I don't think they
need to come out with a new system.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Why why would you at this X.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
As a hunt is eight hundred dollars for like the
two terabyte system and your rogue ally X is one
thousand dollars. Fuck out here, Yeah no, that's insane. Yeah,
and just software publisher at this point. Well, and what's
funny is that, like.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Microsoft had the brand recognition right, so like, you know,
even in twenty dollars a month, people are like, okay,
like it's ubiquitously known, and you know, it's it's technically
a better value than PlayStation's premium their version because they
don't put their games out day one on that service.
So at least you have, you know, what little Microsoft
games are coming out. You're at least getting that. They
partner with a lot of publishers all yet, but like

(30:54):
now you're inviting competition because what I like, something I've
heard forever is that in videos like g Force now
is like on the slide, Yeah, on the slide, it's
like the best cloud service out there, Like it's it
performs better then x cloud does, and it's twenty dollars
a month to get access to like their library of stuff.

(31:18):
Now again you're not getting like day one you know,
games and stuff like that in most cases, but they're
like four Yeah, they run spectaculary with very little latency.
And so now all you're doing if your Microsoft is
you're encouraging more people just to take that twenty dollars
a month that they were spending and not thinking about

(31:38):
and forcing them to think about it and now and
and and you know, kind of pruning the tree. And
again this is this is the problem with all these
digital services, but just constantly escalating in price. It seems
like every six months, every service out there is raising prices,
and all all you're going to do is raise prices

(31:59):
and force people out of your service. Because when you
keep raising prices, when you keep making consumers spend more money,
then you force consumers to budget. And when you budget,
you better hope that you're not the service that I'm
only using, you know, once every two months, because you're
gonna be the first to go, you know what I mean,

(32:20):
Like it like it pays to be Netflix, it pays
to be Disney Plus, and all the services that have
all these ingrained you know things in there. But even me,
like with Netflix. I cancel Netflix two years ago. I
haven't missed it once, you know what I mean the
last two years because I wasn't fucking with W when

(32:41):
it was the last time I watched WW, I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Even fucking tell you.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
So I saw I saw some numbers as a quick
a side. I saw some numbers for like viewership for
Roll last week or a week before last again Monday Night.
Row is reaching like sixty seventy sixty seven million homes
worldwide two point five.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yeah, they're fucking terrible. Yeah, because.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
It's all over the world at two point five. That's
bad anyway, that's about It costs too much money.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
So I have my neighbors, Do you want to go
see Johnson's last match because it's gonna be in DC. No,
I can't afford with that idea.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Like seven thousand dollars for a seat.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Three dishes to sit up there with bubb and elbows
with Jesus and get out of here.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
But yeah, Xbox, I don't know. I don't I don't
know what their their fucking long term goal is. I
don't get it there.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Their long term goal is AI like like that's that's
literally where all the companies bets are being placed is
in AI, Like Satia and Adela, who is the CEO
of Microsoft, is fucking ten fingers and ten toes in
a like like he literally has said it interviews that
he uses AI assistance to like help guide what he

(34:08):
does on a daily basis, which if you're the CEO
of a three trillion dollar company, is a fucking insane
thing to say in public.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, that's not the that's not the flex you're thinking is.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Like you're saying a but for what to make games?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
I don't know. No, that's my point is that Microsoft
doesn't give a shit about anything that Xbox is doing
right like they want all of the money and all
the four things. So like my like the point is
for Xbox, like if they're not investing heavily into AI
right now and to what end, I don't know, whether

(34:44):
that's game development, whether that's something to do with like
cloud services or what, I don't fucking know. But if
but if you're not investing in that right now, then
I'm pretty sure Southiandella does not give a shit about
you because because believe me, like like when Microsoft, I
don't think Phil Spencer woke up one day and was like, hey, like,
let's raise game Pass Alphan fifty percent.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Like I don't.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
I don't think this decision ultimately came from him. I
think this came from above him. And I'm pretty sure
that him and Sarah Bah and Matt Booty fucking told
their bosses like this is a terrible fucking idea, Like
you're gonna engender a shitload of bad of bad vibes
in the marketplace. You're gonna get a lot of people canceling.

(35:23):
This is really successful right now. Look, we just made
five billion dollars of revenue with this last year. Don't
fuck with you know what is kind of close to
a golden goose and Mike, but Microsoft's like, no, we
need more money that we can give this. Sam Affman
like that, that's really that. That's what it boils down
to at the end of the fucking day is how
much how much revenue and how much profit can we

(35:46):
generate so we can just throw fucking money to open AI.
Because this is gonna be the thing that keeps Microsoft
relevant and takes Microsoft forward in the next five to
ten to fifteen years in the tech space. And that's
and that's what it's all about, honestly, like that, that
is what it's all about. In this case, it's it's
just making its maximizing profits however you can. And that's

(36:11):
why that that that I believe that is why this
price increase happened.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Ultimately, it doesn't mean it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Again, they added a bunch of games, and what they're
doing monthly is adding a bunch of games. If you
purchase games, you can stream them now. So like they're
adding fifteen twenty games per month with that. So if
you have a bunch of games that you bought that
weren't streamable before, if you pay I guess, I don't
know what tier you'll be able to stream them if
you don't have them on you like on your phone

(36:40):
or whatever. I don't know why you would want to
do that, but that's the other option. But the fact
that they led with, Hey, we're gonna throw a bunch
of Hopie self games and fucking Fortnite Cruise, I'm like,
who the fuck cares about that?

Speaker 3 (36:51):
That was the worst.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
That was the worst thing to lead with. I don't know,
you have to gas anymore, Yeah, you have.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
You have to build that perceived value, you know what
I mean, Like if you're gonna like like I mean,
I applaud them for at least trying to make it
seem like they were making the service more valuable, like
instead of feeling like, hey, we're raising the price and
you're getting the same features. Like you can't just you
can't go out there, but you might as well have
if all you have is Ubi Soft Classics and fucking
Fortnite Crew, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
So it's so dumb, but yeah, so yeah, Microsoft is
just trying to dig.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
They've dug themselves into.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
A hold, and I don't know if they're gonna be
able to get out of because they lost a lot
of people and some people like I'm just gonna drop
the fucking teer.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
I'm like, well, don't do that. You're still getting You're
still giving them money.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
You're still giving them, still giving them money. Like I
appreciate you, I appreciate you voting with your dollar, but
like you know.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
Man, you're still giving them the twenty dollars you were
giving them before.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
It's just the lower tier you're getting less shit for it.
So you know, I don't know, I don't know what
the fuck. Their endgame is.

Speaker 5 (37:55):
Like I guess it's AI, but it's not for it's
not for Microsoft, it's not for fucking spots. So and
again there's no point in them if they're if they're
using R and D to develop a new system, they're
just wasting money because there's no point.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
It really isn't dummies anyway. Yeah, so.

Speaker 5 (38:15):
I don't I don't get it. Man, just the greediest
people in history.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
But all all all tech people.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
I'm not talking about I'm not just all of them.
You have all the money.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
I heard fucking Elon Musks has has surpassed five five.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Hundred billion dollars in worth like last week. It's not
a true because because because it's half a trick. But
it's not. It's not.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Apparently, since the I guess the EV subsidies are about
to dry up, everybody decided to buy a fucking EV
real quick so they can get that fucking whatever the
hell before and they went and head and bought Tesla's.
There are other man, you know, don't be don't be
like Jay and by two of them, I mean and by.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Other ones, Ribbon Ribbean's coming out with a forty five
thousand dollars SUV next year. That's that might be.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
One of really, so yeah, that's there the ones they
got on now like one hundreds, I know, but start
starting at forty five.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Up timeline.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
We do, man, we do. Like I said, no one
heeded Jeff Goldlum's warning from Jurassic Park, uh back when
So speaking of Generative A, I this is kind of
a short story, but a weird one. So there was
a a Japanese lawmaker by the name of Shatoshi Asano

(39:53):
who posted on social media that like Nintendo was lobbying
the Japanese diet against Generative AI in some way, shape
or form. And I don't know why this guy like
felt the need to put that out there, and then
he had to apologize afterwards because Nintendo felt the need,

(40:18):
uh to come out and put out a statement, which
they normally don't do when their name is just invoked randomly,
but basically Nintendo's Nintendo's statement was contrary to recent discussions
on the internet. Nintendo has not had any contact with
the Japanese government about Generative AI. Whether Generative AI is
involved or not. We will continue to take necessary actions

(40:39):
against infringement of our intellectual property rights. Nintendo's like the
last company that I would expect to like go deep
down into the gen AI tunnel. I mean, this is
a company that we like to joke all the time
it's five years behind the tech trend anyway.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah, this is a this is a company that has
like a bunch of accessories that cardboard boxes.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Guys like like.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
I don't, I don't If Nintendo is going down the
AI route, It's lost all hope the fucking terminators are
coming at that now.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
As much as I don't care about Nintendo, they are
the only like Triple A gaming developers that actually care
about their games. You know, they actually put effort into
the gas.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Sony Sony mostly does, I think certain certain certain.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Sony does for like, this is gonna hit guys all
the money in it because it's gonna be amazing.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
I wonder if this was more about, like, so we
see things hitting the marketplace now, Like the latest sign
of the apocalypse is the arrival of like fucking Sora,
which is like the AI generative video platform where you've
seen some like really insane shit coming out that's all

(42:05):
AI generated. And so now we get to live in
this lovely healscape, where as you're you know, flip flipping
through TikTok or you know, watching a YouTube video you
don't know anymore like what's real and what's not, because
you might be something watching something that's completely generative. And Nintendo,
as we've talked many times in the show before, very

(42:26):
protective of their intellectual property. So it wouldn't surprise me
if if they were lobbying against jen Ai in some way,
shape or form for this reason, to make sure that there,
you know, their shit isn't getting misused by generative Ai
stuff like Sora or other things that are in in

(42:47):
the marketplace there. But it's just a weird story just
to come out of left field, Nintendo talking about lobbing,
which I don't I'm not not evenenough to think nintend
it does not lobby. I'm sure that they do, but uh,
you know, probably them yelling at this guy like why
you put usher out there right now?

Speaker 3 (43:08):
But we'll see, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
This is uh, this is kind of also turning into
like what the fuck are people thinking?

Speaker 3 (43:18):
We this is weird?

Speaker 5 (43:20):
Man?

Speaker 1 (43:20):
So well, I I was unaware of this news until
this story hits. So Taki Yuki Nakiyama, who is the
director of street Fighter six, publicly came out and gave
Capcom like, hey, what the fuck are you guys doing
right now sort of situation because Capcom apparently made the

(43:44):
decision to charge pay per view admission for the Capcom
Cup twelve finals and the street Fighter League World Championship,
which you can pay twenty dollars a piece to watch

(44:04):
the finals of both events, or if you want to
do both of them, you can get a bundle for
thirty dollars, or you can wait two weeks for Capcom
to release the recap for free or the replay for
free after the fact. And apparently this is like the

(44:25):
median price point from attending the stuff in person. So
I guess like Capcom is like, man, like, you know,
what was a great fucking model back in the day
pay per view? Isn't it cool that you know no
one's doing that anymore? We should do that for some
of our big fighting game tournaments to ensure that casual

(44:47):
fans do not watch them, because we don't want to
grow the reach of our game at all.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Apparently, apparently this model is huge in Japan, like because
street Fighter is kind of an instant tuition there right,
like like it works in Japan, So I get the lot.
I kind of get the logic of well, if it
works here, maybe it'll work here, right, No, but they don't.
That's just that's just them not knowing the Western audience,

(45:17):
like like this is.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
This is silly, this is this is silly.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
And if you I think, I think one of the
tweets in this article says it, if you wanted to
make up revenue, you could just have the dev team
create the one thing that people want from those from
from Street Fighter six, and it's costumes for the actual
street fighters and and charge them fifteen dollars or whatever.

(45:45):
Nobody wants to the Ninja Turtle costumes for fifteen dollars.
Guys they want they want Mecazan geef with nipples hoe like,
and that's what they're getting. Like that's that, Like this
is just a this is just a the fumble on
on the esports division's side. I can't imagine anybody, even

(46:09):
like the hardcore like streamers who make this their business.
I was paying for this.

Speaker 5 (46:17):
I was watching them. Max, like my favorite not only
streamer I actually watch. He put out a video about this.
He was like when I stream capcom Cup, when I
stream EVO and all those I get like one hundred
thousand viewers on my channel alone right watching that, and
they're watching it simultaneously. They might be watching it somewhere else,
Like those people are not going to pay thirty dollars

(46:39):
to watch That's ridiculous. Like and if I and he's like,
I'm not paying that to stream it, So what the fuck?

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Is? What do you like?

Speaker 4 (46:48):
I'm max like like he could like like he could
he could because he would like like and that's the
other thing, like if he were to pay for that
and he were to stream it and and do alongside,
or is he not actually airing the video footage?

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Like he's just like it's like.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
He's He's like no, he's basically where everybody's watching.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
He's he'll be on he'll be streaming it and he'll.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
Have like the seven or eight. So he's he's cybulcasting.
He's simulcasting. Would he allowed to do that like anybody else?
That's the thing He's like, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be
allowed to do it, So I'm not I'm not paying
thirty dollars, So what the fuck? So like, I'm not
going to be watching it. None of my viewers are
going to be watching unless they paid the thirty bucks
for it. You're just cutting off your Western audience completely. Yeah,

(47:35):
I mean I get it, you love street feightter over there,
but like that's that doesn't make a lot of sense.
So again, people be living in their own little bubbles
not really understanding.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
How things work. I saw it like last week, I'm like,
what papers f eighty six.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
I feel like nobody did any research. Nobody did any
research at all.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Well, and I hear like, obviously I'm not connected to
most of the most esports scenes for any games, but
like in the wake of the story, like, so what
I understand is like Sodota, for example, like when they
when they stream the International, which is their big annual tournament,
you don't have to pay for to watch for the
privilege of watching the International, but if or International Invitation,

(48:21):
I can't remember what it's called. But but if you're
watching the big Dota two tournament, they have like exclusive
like in game like micro transactions that you can only
buy if you're watching the tournament kind of stuff. And
so that's what they do is like you don't have
to pay to watch it, but we're gonna get you,
yeah for all, for all this fucking bullshit, like like
Capcom could easily do the same thing. It's literally been

(48:42):
their business model since Street Fighter four came out. So
I don't know why I don't. I don't know why
they're they're you know, realizing like, oh shit, like this
is the this is the pivot we need to make
h to charge people to watch the you know, the
the not it's not even the full tournament.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
I think.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
I think it's just it's just the finals basically, right,
and it's not.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Even the premiere Western tournament, right, Like, like I get
I get it, I see, I see the logic. I
just mm hmm this one, this one needed to go
back in.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
The oven for a bit. Yep. So just stop being.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Fucking greedy, man, Like, Like, can you imagine, like if
you were the one company that wasn't a greedy piece
of shit in this day and age, how how much
good will you would engender just by not being fucking greedy?
Like what like what.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
In two thousand and seventeen Capcom was it was at
the bottom of the barrel, man.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
They the record label seven came out and like save them.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
Yeah, and it's been what eight years of like just
banger after banger and then they do some dumb shit
like this.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
I mean, that's not gonna.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Affect their games, but like Tree Fighters is one of
your your total, your your fucking tent pole games. And
to just be like, h well and again, fighting games
is a niche I don't give a.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
It's not fighting games.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Is like you can't this is not like this is
not I don't know, man, that's silly. It's silly.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
Like people he said one hundred over the weekend, he'll
get like one hundred thousand views by himself.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Just watching that.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
He honestly, he probably like if you if you're just
looking at Western audience, like, I don't know how you
can how you could cut that square that circle as
far as Internet viewership. But I would imagine Max probably
has more people watching his cyblecast than the actual Capcom stream,
at least.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
In the West. Watch.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Yeah, I watch I watch it because because because of
him as a personality, right and his commentary right, like
it okay man, like it's.

Speaker 5 (50:49):
Just and again, it's not like y'all niggas don't know
who this dude is right.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
He goes to flies to Japan.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
He like y'all asked him questions, He interviews y'all it's.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Weird, dude.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised to see this walked back.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
They might change.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Yeah, if enough people, if enough people register their disapproval,
you might see them panically like, actually, just kidd like that.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
This is a Japanese audience, does it all alone, Maybe
they won't give a fuck.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
But again, man, I feel like y'all give giving way
too much credit for your fucking fighting games.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
I mean, I mean that that. But like Street Fighter
I believe was on sale over the weekend during the
steam Fall sale or twenty dollars oh so so so,
less so less than the privilege of watching the finals
of these of these two are cost lesson how so
much it's going to cost? A cool good, always a

(51:44):
good uh, always a good presentation to put forward. There,
last last bit of news. One thing we did not
mention when discussing the UH Saudi takeover of e A
last week UH is the fact that this still does
have to face regulatory scrutiny. And I use that term
very loosely. In the United States, before the deal can

(52:08):
be permitted to go through. The acquisition is not expected
to close until quarter one of twenty twenty seven, but
it does have to go through the FTC to make
sure that there's no monopolies and that this is a
good idea for the shareholders. But the Financial Times did
a background interview with some folks in the government that said,

(52:30):
I don't think you have to worry about that, because, again,
as we mentioned last week, one of the partners in
this deal, one of the other equity firms that are
signing on to this is of course Jared Kushner.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
The son in law of the current president of the
United States.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
So I can't imagine that the FTC is going to
look too strongly at a business deal that's being joined
by Jared Kushner. Quoted a source to the inner working
close to the inner workings of the Trump administration. What
regulators gonna say no to the president's son in law.
It's basically, uh, the the message there. So yeah, I

(53:10):
would I would expect.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Everything.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
It's just affecting everything that I love this this, this
this administration.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
It's it's just wi trills and and nobody, nobody, don't
I don't understand how you can be a US citizen
and just completely ignore everything that they're doing.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
I just don't understand it. You have your head that
far up your ass that you just don't see it's
going on.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
It's called it's called you're probably a white male and
can just glide through life without any sort of.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Strikers called the lips terrence, because that's more important. I
don't need this nose on my face. Get out of here.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
You might not have that VICH from your fucking health
insurance spikes, Lord Voldemort for ballot.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Oh, let's take it to the dens Fixel's post office. UH,
denspix dot com. Slash fans that join the discord uh,
you can submit questions to us UH, many of which
don't necessarily hit with everyone on the on the show,
like e Jack that says, what is your ideal five

(54:22):
song set list for rock band?

Speaker 3 (54:25):
Four?

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Answered it in the in the yes, car Carrie, Carrie.
I'll give Carrie's answers because she answered it herself. She's
on the shows.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
We gotfully.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Passions to Bangkok from Rush Lazaretto from Jack White. That
would be a very fun rock band song to play.
Hall's Valhalla by Judus Priest, Rock and Roll Huchi Ku
by Rick Dringer, and somebody told me U from the Killers.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
I did not own.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Rock Band four, so I don't even know what songs
are on there. I can just I can just go
through like my favorite video game, like my favorite songs
to play in prior video game music games. Killing in
the Name of from Guitar Hero Too was excellent, So
if that's an option, that would be a lot of

(55:13):
fun to play. John the Fisherman from Primus was great,
all says, a really fun bassline to play in that song.
I think that was also a good that might have
been a Guitar Hero three song if I recall correctly.
I enjoyed playing Orange Crush, even though I hate r
em personally, like, it was still fun to play Orange Crush.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
I remember that was in Rock Band one. Fuck Man,
what else?

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Godzilla, b Lewister, Cult, It's good ship.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
I see something from the Black Keys on here. Okay,
that is uptown funk of rock song.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
They got that on here.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
I don't. I mean it's got a pretty it probably
got pretty sick baseline. I could I could see We're
all right? Well then that yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
A mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
I mean I recognize some of these bands, I just
don't recognize some of the songs. Uh. I don't want
to say ob centuries from Fallout Boy.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
I know that that fall Out Boy when when I
when I think of Fallout Boy, for some reason, like
in my mind, they're equated with like Nickelback for some reason,
like in terms of band quality. And maybe part of
it's because there they co opt a Simpsons meme and

(56:45):
that bothers me because I don't particularly care for their music.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
That makes me dislike them more.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
But all I all I hear now is my son
is watching this Hot Wheels thing and for some reason,
Fallout does a lot of kids like TV show intros, right,
like they did one for Spider Man and his Amazing Friends,
and they're doing one for this hot wheel song. And
I think they're doing one for Iron Man and his

(57:14):
Awesome friends or whatever. But like that's where I hear.
I'm like, what is this?

Speaker 1 (57:24):
What are we doing? And they've been around for nearly
twenty years if I'm not mistaken. Jesz case case, you
wanted to feel ancient immediately, so uh, Mark asks It's
probably even asked before but what is your most unpopular
gaming opinion? Is Song the Hedgehog is a bad platform

(57:46):
or an unpopular gaming opinion?

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Yeah, I would probably say so, but I think that's
from people who just really like the character and don't
really care about the actual art of platform, like level design.

Speaker 5 (58:03):
Well, it's design to run through it as fast as possible.
I've never been able to do it that well, honestly.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Yeah, it's not a good it's not a good. It's
not a good uh, nuts and bolts video game. It's
got it's got vibes, like it's the ultimate vibes game.
It's got a great soundtrack, it's very colorful, and like
you said, you get to run real fast, which is cool.
But again, the worst parts of any two D Sonic
the Hedgehog game is when you have to slow down

(58:29):
and and actually platform.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Yeah, like you don't stop Like, yeah, Sonic is not
sons not good guys.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Mine Is Dragon is a fun game.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Uh you know what Mine Mine in a similar vein
alpha protocol not bad at all.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
No, it's not. It is.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
I like that game as.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Actually a very good game if the gameplay itself.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Yeah, the actual game worked right.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
And my last one is a game pass Ultimate is
still not that bad.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
To me, very very.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Way too expensive, but it's still a pretty good Oh man, Uh,
that's funny.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Oh, I guess another one like that I vehemently stood
that that I vehemently stood up is that dk C
two is the best two D platform of all time.
I don't I don't think i'd find much agreement uh
in many people with that, but I believe it to
be true. So also, uh, Yoshi's Island is better than
Super Mario World.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
That's another.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
There's another hot take for those of you out there
that are listening. So e Jack comes back. Oh that's
they're still talking about the DLC ship. Anthony says, what
is your favorite ice cream flavor? What is the worst
ice cream flavor? Cooking cream and mint is the worst?

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Whatever? Chocolate chip, chocolate like, I'll.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Let you go last because you're the foremost expert in this.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Earl Gray bullshit that we had that way.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Don't I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I mean, I mean, I mean you're taking all my asses, man,
you take all my ass.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Now, now let me ask you this question. Are are
like cold Stone concoctions considered an ice cream flavor? Or
are we just talking about the bass flavor of the
ice cream.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
What is just the just whatever flavor you had that
is just like whatever concoction whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Okay, fair enough, so best my my, my basic bitch
answer would be chocolate chip cookie dough. The actual best
ice cream flavor is a bourbon butter pecan. That's the
actual I've.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Had that before. I don't know what bourbon tastes like it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Well, it doesn't actually like the ice cream doesn't actually
taste like bourbon, but it has like those flavor notes
that's smoky.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Yeah, I've had it before. It's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (01:01:10):
Yeah, it's very The chocolate chunk that chicken cookie dough
is up there too, right along. And I like strawberry. Uh,
given too many flavors.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Yeah, the worst, the worst is anything anything with cherry
and cherry is not a flavor that I like generally,
and I like it even less in ice cream.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Yeah, yeah, it's made for me, Micah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Cherry is fine, it's not cherry as a flavor overall
is over in anything juice and the actual cherry itself
over it. Look, my, when I can't think of anything,
like when I'm when I'm feeding and and and I
just like hit of ice cream. Uh, it's either ment

(01:01:55):
chocolate chip or uh, cookies and cream. Those in my life,
those are I like you got that ice cream baby, right?
Those are those are those flavors like I do like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
My wife. My wife is obsessed with with.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Your wife is awesome, So that makes sense. I know
you think it tastes like toothpaste, but no, no, no,
I I dig it. The worst flavor is any kind
of like seafood flavor, right like I've had. Yeah, I've
had like an anchovy flavored ice cream. It don't it

(01:02:36):
don't work.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
It don't work. It doesn't sound like it works.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
No, No, I can see why people with ice.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Right right like, because it's got this You got like
a super salty Yeah, you got like a sweet and
salty like thing too. It doesn't work, doesn't work at all.
As Tarrence said, I had earl gray siracha once, which
was pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
You heard what he said.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
Those are three words that don't let like like earl
grace to watch ice cream are five words that don't
belong in the same sentence with each other.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
What it was good, man, it was good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
I don't know what to tell you. I don't you
know it wasn't it was.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
It was you know, the Harker Brothers. They they they
make you know, a wide variety of different types of
ice cream. Yeah, I'll have any type of ice cream,
any type of ice cream. I'll try any type of
ice cream. But seafood doesn't doesn't work. But yeah, I've
had you know, birthday cake or or cotton candy. Peanut

(01:03:53):
but what was it? Peanut butter and Graham cracker. Peanut
butter and Graham cracker was really good? Sounds like you Yeah, yeah,
just nothing nothing seafood flavor.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Based that don't work.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Beach a boy asks, He said, thanks a lot for
your guys, did your reviews. In my severe case of foe,
I'm gonna show thirty bucks for eighties two. He told
his grooms when he should buy for him because the
wedding is team minus eighteen days out. Uh, question is
gamers and married people, what is a dream wedding gift
you wish you could have gotten for me? The Capcom
homework cases was a solid choice, but my fiancee wanted plates.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
Yay.

I hope you get called by the cops.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Yeah, that happened. Terrence and Brad. They were Girnsman and
it was in Florida, because you know, it was in Florida,
and Terrence was highly upset that. I think it was
only his first and only time going to a cracker barrel.

(01:07:15):
We had we have rehearsal, like lunch there at a
cracker barrel and Terrence was like.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
You, yeah, you walk into that guy damn gift store.
I'm like, yo, this ship.

Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
He was eighteen ninety two. I don't like anything about
any of it. And the food wasn't even good.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
No, the food that cracker barrel is not is not good.
Although some some people apparently uh got married or proposed
at a cracker barrel parking lot or something like that.
Did he say that? Didn't didn't the day walker say that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Him? He didn't he say he didn't say that? Oh
my god. It was a cracker barrel parking lot.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
Probably probably the same one that we went to. If I,
if I had to guess.

Speaker 5 (01:08:06):
Man, it was yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
Yeah he said that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
When when they took that old man off the off
the uh, when he took the overseer off the.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Logo, Oh my god, irritates my soul. Oh, beach boy,
you're supposed to get your groomsman gifts. They're not supposed
to get you anything. Their their gift is being up
there with you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
I think, uh, I think he's saying, what what would
his wife. Oh, here's a here's a here's a tip.
Don't expect anything. I don't expect anything. That way, you'd
be pleasantly surprised. Be pleasantly surprised, no matter what it is.

(01:08:58):
You'd be like, oh, all right. But if to answer
your question something like game related, I don't know, man,
I'm simple. If you get me a TV, hm, I'm good.

(01:09:19):
At this point, you can get me. You can at
this point if she wanted to do something for the uh,
the tenth year anniversary, she could get me.

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
Time to myself.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
So I really want.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
Consider considering you put one hundred and twenty hours into
Borderlands the first ten days.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
That it came out.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
I think I think you'd do it all right in
that uh, in that in that particular aspect. Oh sh uh,
I wouldn't. I wouldn't want anything game related. I I
would want if I was getting married now, I would
want a nice watch as my that's my wedding gift
because it would last the entire length of the marriage

(01:10:05):
and then some.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
I'm not married.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Film wander asks me between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastre,
which one of them looks like they can fight? Yeah,
things are not too harmonious right now at Team McLaren,
even though they just clinched the Constructors Championship. Both their
drivers are one and two in the Driver's Championship for
the rest of the season. Look, Oscar Piastre is from Australia,
so I would imagine just by default he could fight

(01:10:35):
harder than landa Norris can.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Yeah, just looked up Lando Norris. He's British Australian. No, no,
that's no, that's no, that's no contest. Yeah, so I
my pick would be Oscar.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
There, let's see here Tah says here and Mica talk
about old Boy. Got me wondering if y'all have seen
Sympathy for Mister Vengeance and Lady Vengeance and and so
what did you think of them?

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
I did see Sympathy from Mister Vengeance. It was a
dark ass movie from what I can remember. I haven't
seen it in like fifteen twenty years, but you know,
that movie I think came out in like the two thousands,
and you know, two thousands everything two thousands everything was like,

(01:11:23):
you know, gritty and and like if you thought like
if you thought like like dark and gritty in America,
was like, oh, this is this is dark and gritty.
Now you know, this is Korea, this is this is
everybody died in that movie spoiler alert. But I enjoyed it.

(01:11:44):
I enjoyed it because you know, I was at there
kind of point in my life where you know, things
were just kind of dark.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
Let's say, where are you about to go with?

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
Dark?

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
Edgy Edge his EMO phase back when he was in his.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
Yeah, that was my Emo phase. That was my Edge
Lord Emo phase. Because I had no friends in college
in college. It came out two thousand and five. Oh,
I thought it came out and like I thought it
came out last year I was in college. Last year
I was in college was two thousand and two. I
think something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
Let's see, Johnny says, with the Xbox News looking bleaker
by the day, I thought it'd be nice to look
back at fonder memories, if any on classic Xbox moments.
He lists Halo two, Opening Night, the three sixty Blade Menu,
favorite games, et cetera. What's a fond memory, if any,
that you have with an.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Xbox that uh Issa Tyler coining the phrase Lady Boner.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
That was a UISAFT presentation that was that was even Xbox.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
I don't know the lot coming out. I guess idea,
wasn't that the original box it was?

Speaker 5 (01:13:03):
Yeah it sucks. Yeah, backround looking like a human gives
the war, gives the War two that those release dates.
I put a lot of time on the Gears the War.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
Call of Duty Modern Warfare first one when that came
out in eight put a lot of time into that. Uh.
Just the three sixty era was dope, how it was.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
I played damn in every fucking three sixty game that
was when it was out. That's when Microsoft was uh
sixty beat PlayStation.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
Three and uh in the US, Yes, it did not.
PlayStation three ended up getting them worldwide at the end
of the day, but it did. It did outsell it
in the US.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
Yeah, it came.

Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
It was as close as they've ever come. And uh,
I haven't been back to those days.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
The closest they.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
Ever would come, all right, So yeah, that was their heyday. Man.
That was a lot of shit.

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
So for me, a lot of muted colors, grays and brown, yes,
all over the place.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
So for me, just because so I never had any
personal affinity towards an Xbox, because I was always a
PlayStation guy back in those days. But for me, because
of my profession, I still remained bewildered that at the
brand loyalty that Microsoft generated during that generation of video games,

(01:14:38):
during the three sixty PS three era video games, having
a console that literally at its worst had like a
fifty failure rate, and you still have people buy three
or four Xbox three sixties because they were so committed
to the Xbox brand and their gamer score at that

(01:14:59):
point that they couldn't it's a part with it. So
I just remained in awe of the failing upwards that
Microsoft was able to do in the first couple of
years of the three sixties. Yeah, the three sixties for release.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
That's fun. It's my gamer score still, my gamer score
is still going. What is it? I'm gonna look mine up.
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Mine is not very impressible, I can promise see that.
Uh Cam asked, with the success of the Marvel Zombies
animated series, do you all think a Marvel Zombies video
game in the same vein as the Marvel Ultimate Alliance
game should be heavily considered.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
I have not watched Marvel Zombies, not yet anyway. I
mean I guess, But isn't the whole hook with Marvel
Zombies is that they're kind of fighting, you know, fellow heroes.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
I mean, I guess you could have a bunch of
like I guess you could have like a bunch of
fodder from different like fashions, just like you would have
any other any other m.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
Game.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
But I don't know. Look, I understand that Mambo Zombies
is good. I don't want Momozombies game because I don't
want zombies to come back into fashion. I'm just do
them done. You know, people like killing zombies. People really
like killing zombies because they fantasize about killing people. And

(01:16:43):
you know, I don't, nah, I don't you know, you know,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
Know about it. My gamer scores one hundred and twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
Thou and thirty five on twenty seven thousand. I don't
even know why I'm looking out up because I ain't anything.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
It gonna be no way need That's what twenty years
of fucking Xbox So Matt.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
The last questions for mad Koku ge who I assume
he only he means a specific style of Ninja Guiden
game in this question, But I'll do Yeah, the two
D specific but I'll but I'll read what he wrote
verbatim with Rage Bound breaking the long running bad Ninja
Gaiden game streak after the third.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Eddie s game.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
How is the gang feeling about Ninja Guiden four?

Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
Well, I'm the Ninja guy guy here. From what I've seen,
it looks like it's gonna be dope. Two different characters.
The gameplay looks really fast. I think Platinum Games is
also helping. I think Platinum Games is doing the new
character mm hmm, and Tekamo Orover is doing the uh
is doing Hayabusa as far as gameplay goes, So that's

(01:17:52):
kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
I can't wait to play. It looks it looks like
it's gonna be pretty dope. Ninja Godden three kind of sucked.
That game wasn't all that degree.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:18:02):
The Ninja kind Ninja Gotten two remake was the PlayStation
three version, which kind of sucked.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
They just added like the blood be okay was it
wasn't one and two very good?

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
M what on Xbox? Yeah? No, they were awesome. Yeah,
So talking about that two.

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
D versions yeah, but but but then he invokes Ninja
Guide in four, so he's probably talking about all of them,
I would think, Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
He might be bugging.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Yeah, I don't know a great well because also Rage
Found by All counts pretty good as well. Like I,
I didn't play it because I only had room for
one New Age two D size scrolling Ninja platform in
my heart, and I'm glad that I chose, you know,
but the review the reviews on Rage Found are are
pretty good.

Speaker 5 (01:18:48):
So what's said with Ragebound breaking the long running bag
Ninja guid in Games Street?

Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
Okay, okay, what do you think about four?

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
Okay, okay, so he might he might be talking.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
That's fine, that's fine. Yeah, three three was the three.

Speaker 5 (01:19:02):
The iterations, the several iterations of three weren't very good,
so that might.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Be what he means. I don't know. But then then again,
Ninja Gotten three on the n E s I don't know,
I don't know. I don't remember that game.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
I mean, it wasn't it wasn't as good as the
first two, like I can remember that much, but it
wasn't like a I don't think it was like a
fucking travesy. Now, they did come out in Ninja Guiding
Trilogy on Superintendent, which I think was also fine. It
was just those first three games remaster. But then I
don't think anything came out Ninja Guiden wise until the

(01:19:37):
Xbox game came out from there.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
So yeah, but I don't know. I could have to
look up the history. But yeah, I'm looking forward to
Ninagden four.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):

Hooked up one, got the switch hooked up to the TV,
and not that, not that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Because my son plays it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
It was like, all right, sit over there while I'm well,

Speaker 5 (01:20:40):
This this one, I mean the one he bought first run.

fucking Xbox Xbox one. They had like the fucking Day
one edition for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Yeah, and all it was was just had Day one
and then a year on it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
Right, how much was I get? How much was it?

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
It was five hundred?

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
Yeah, it was five hundred dollars. And my my gamer
score is seventy four thousand, three hundred and twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
So well, tell tell you what, Micah, I will make
you feel better. I'll pull up my gamer score just
for ships and grins.

Speaker 5 (01:21:24):
Like I got one hundred and seventy dollars for my
fucking series S. They're only giving you a two hundred
and eleven for the Xbox Series X.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
Yeah. Say come on, man, that's come bull of ship.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):

Yo, that's like five games.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):

that I've been throughout all these years.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Now my trophy score, on the other hand, that's that's
much more. My trophy level is like three hundred and
seventy something at this point, which is still kind of shit.
That's funny. God damn, that's what That's what we're here for, Mike.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
I'm here.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
I'm here just to pump your tires a little bit
so you don't have to feel bad. I appreciate the
wake of Terrence's terrors, massive gabor score numbers friends closing
on two hundred thousand. There you go, there, there, there's
there's my truly unpopular gaming opinion. Trophies are like a
million times better uh than gamer score on the X

(01:22:34):
I agree, and I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
Difference the difference is the gamer score and when it
gets to it gets to a point where it's like
the number is just the number and it doesn't seem
like it's getting any bigger. But when you break them
up in the trophies, you break them up into smaller numbers,
which what makes it feel like you're.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
Accumulating more oh facts over feelings.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
I mean, yeah, I feel like, what's what's what sounds
what sounds more impressive?

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
I've got twelve hundred two thousand gamers score, or I've
got a Platinum trophy.

Speaker 3 (01:23:12):
In this game?

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
Like, what's what's what sounds like a more impressive account.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
Of thirty five platinum trophies.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Get a platinum trophy and get all the other trophies.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
No, I have.

Speaker 5 (01:23:23):
I only have one platinum trophy Spider Man, literally one.
I like that game so much. What did you have
to do to get a platinum trophy in Vailguard? Because
I thought I did everything I could possibly do.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
Man, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
There's there's a couple there's a couple of quests I
think that you have to do. Have you done all
the side quests and all all this stuff?
